Very hard to tell since it's so subjective. One of the biggest hog I've seen
so far has been the LunaSuite suite of packages. Buggy and taking a lot of
space and memory.

Moving it will indeed just change a slot in the soup, plus it might not work
anymore. You can delete or put the Internet Setup package plus the templates
package on an external card.

QFWorks, for the spreadsheet and NewtWorksDraw for the drawing part. If
you're heavily into scientific math, you could also install
WorksCalculation.

GIGO /gi:'goh/ [acronym]: 1. `Garbage In, Garbage Out' -- usually said in
response to lusers who complain that a program didn't "do the right thing"
when given imperfect input or otherwise mistreated in some way. Also
commonly used to describe failures in human decision making due to faulty,
incomplete, or imprecise data. 2. `Garbage In, Gospel Out': this more recent
expansion is a sardonic comment on the tendency human beings have to put
excessive trust in `computerized' data.
